Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Monday that the mainstream media barely mentioning the now-confirmed Hunter Biden laptop story, which they panned as fake news in 2020, shows how "thoroughly corrupt" they are.(Click to the site to see the video)
The comments by Johnson during his appearance on "Eric Bolling The Balance" come amid The New York Times admitting to the authenticity of the laptop more than a year after the New York Post was booted off Twitter for reporting about it before the 2020 presidential election.
"People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer, and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity," The Times wrote last week. "Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation."
Johnson was surprised.
"Quite honestly, my jaw dropped when I heard that The New York Times is actually admitting that the laptop was authentic," the Wisconsin senator said. "Didn't everybody already realize that? Haven't we known that for well over a year?
"To me, It just indicates how thoroughly corrupt the mainstream, legacy, corporate media is. How they're completely in the tank of the radical left, of the Democratic Party."
Johnson had issued a report with his Republican colleague, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, in September 2020 that detailed the conflicts of interest between President Biden and his son's job at Burisma. He claimed that the Times "trashed" the report at the time.

If that was Don Jr’s laptop it would be 24/7 on every channel.
The Ministry of Propaganda has been thoroughly corrupted for decades.
How could anyone with any discernment not already realize that?

“The most insidious power the media has, is thew power to ignore.” — Chris Plante, WMAL-DC
You’re a Senator, Johnson.
Convene hearings and call witnesses.
Republicans NEVER exercise their power.
I’m reading one of the Reagan biographies, remembering how the press had Reagan’s brown hair analyzed for dye. Then how the media basically shut down discussion of the Iranian hostages and economic misery in the 1980 fall campaign against Carter.
Chris Plante is a national treasure!
The Obama/Soros Deep State = Much of Congre$$, most of Lame Street Media and of course many government agencies.
Walter Crankcase was an old commie.
That was just the latest thing at the time that showed the media is corrupt. They had been shown repeatedly to be corrupt long before that.
Hearings do nothing. We need prosecutions.
Among those outlets that did carry the story at the time, you can include the UK Daily Mail.
They’re merely Assistant DemonKKKrats; why should they?
There are no fires in Hell hot enough for Walter Cronkite. After the Tet Offensive was defeated General Giap and Ho Chi Minh were discussing what kind of peace terms North Vietnam could get. Then they turned on the Evening News like they always did. They were overjoyed to see Cronkite lie and claim that Tet was a great loss for the ARVNs and the USA. They knew then that they would win. The Vietnam War could have been over in 1968 and instead went on til 1975. This was in General Giap’s memoirs IIRC. Walter Cronkite killed all the soldiers and later the Cambodians (Khmer Rouge) from 1968 onward AFAIC.
A vile and evil Communist. (But that’s redundant)
Yep, and have been for a long time. See Tagline.
Sad, but true: it ain't a scandal unless the New York Times says it's a scandal.
